A great win for the Hoosiers!

Dumes was awesome. Taber was awesome. Williams and Story chipped in. Nice to see Roth carry them one game and Dumes another. They really need that, a duel threat every game. Rotate Williams into that and it's even better...

I don't think that the recent play of Devan Dumes can be overstated. The kid has matured leaps and bounds as a basketball player. Yesterday's game was another example of that. Solid work by TC and co to get him around the corner and make him look like he belongs in the B10. I honestly think he will start next year if he keeps this up, and deservedly so.

It was also nice to see Kyle Taber actually look like he belonged out on the floor last night. Diving for loose balls, cutting to the basket without the ball, doing the 'little things' that players should be doing. Hopefully he can keep that type of play up.

Feels nice to get the first notch in the belt, would love to see an upset against the Illwhini.

I have really seen this team get better and I like the rotation Crean has using Moore and Story in the right spots. When Nick Williams wants to, he can really affect the game on both ends of the court, rebounding, scoring etc. Devan Dumes has one of the best shooting forms I have seen in awhile.......

I, for one, was out celebrating the win, as I think most would expect. I don't think the fact that we chose to go out and celebrate instead of hopping on our computers to check other peoples' comments is in ANY way a slight to the team or what they accomplished tonight.

Absolutely fantastic game, great atmosphere in AH. When Iowa started to creep back in, you could sense the crowd's frustration. But no one ever gave up, you could really tell that we all felt that this was THE ONE. It had to be.

Some stupid people in the row in front of me left with three minutes to go, but they got pretty well jeered for leaving.

Glad I was there to see it. My group's seats for the Illinois game are probably our best non-floor seats of the season. I'd like to see us keep it closer than the previous game and really build on this momentum.

I'm very proud of these boys. As long as these boys show that type of passion each game, they will always have my support. Nice job guys.

Seeing Iowa creep back to within three nearly killed me. I was glad that Crean held on to as many timeouts as he did in order to steady the team in the closing minutes.

I have to admit I may have been wrong about Dumes. Early this season I thought for sure he was in over his head, but he's really starting to grow into being the leader this team needs. Its a shame he'll only get 1 more season before his eligibility runs out.

Anyway, go Hoosiers!

Had a graduate class tonight so I had to DVR the game....so I had to refuse any calls or text messages in order to keep the result a secret. I KNEW we'd pull this game out. I wish I could have watched it live, but my smile was HUGE nonetheless when the final seconds ticked down.

Dumes looked awesome...especially with a money 3 down the stretch and two MADE FTs..

Monkey is off the back...let's get a few more before the end of the year!
